Caloundra armed robbery

Two 30-year-old men appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court today following the alleged burglary and robbery of two men in a Sunshine Coast unit about 1.20am.

The men allegedly smashed in the door of the Portobello unit complex in Dicky Beach, threatened the two occupants with a screwdriver and hatchet while demanding they hand over money and other items.

Police attended and arrested the two men inside the unit but not before a struggle ensued in which an officer was allegedly punched in the jaw.

The men have been charged with burglary with violence in company, armed robbery in company, serious assault of police, obstruct police and possession of drugs. Both men will also face charges from other outstanding matters.
